The alarming disease of this
country is nervous debility and
prostration. It goes under
many names but it is essen
tally the same complaint
Hospitals and private institu-
tions for nervous patients are
crowded. The average of life
in the United States is de-.
creasing every year. Sudden
S deaths from nervous collapse
among our business, profess
ional and public men are SO
frequent as scarcely to excite
remark. The majority of sui
cides, committed without ap-
parentreason, ortlnd so=calledl
dispersion Of spirits, . are
really prompted by nervous
prostration, which is a fruitful
source of insanity and crime
with all their grief and horror.
These facts are startling.
They threaten the very life of
the nation. They assail the
springs of its power and pros
perity. They wreck nlaahood's
strength and wonlnn's s useful
ness and beauty. 4
Every one should know the
causes. What are they2 The
answer is easy and terribly
plain: Our vicious personal
habits; our careless and lawless
eating and drinking; the in
tense mental and physical strain
arising from our mad race after
money, position and influence; !;
the fears and struggles of poy-.
e1ty; the use of narcotics and
stinuIants; our fashion of
turning day into night and
night into day; and, briefly,
our desperate willingness to
pay any price for an hours
pleasure or success. So we
burn life's candle at both ends
and fill the lunatic asylums
and the graveyards. Y

suffer and. die is, in plain Eng

is seated in the Nerves ard In
